Eva Mae Darst was the daughter of Joseph and Adeline Darst. Eva's health had always been delicate. She lived in Chicago, ill with her parents for five years but returned to Rose Kansas in 1895. Due to her delicate health situation she was unable to attend school regularly as a child, however that did not stop her from becoming a teacher. She taught school until her marriage to Carl Victor Abbott on October 27, 1906.
They had four children, Alma Antoinette (who never married), Clifford Eldon (who died while attending Law School), Alice Elvira (who married Mervin Terrell and moved to Kentland Indiana), and Barbara Jean (who married Warren Kenneth Stockebrand and lived at the homestead until near her own death).
During their first four years of marriage they lived in Rose, Kansas until they moved just outside of Yates Center, Kansas in 1912 and lived for 30 years.
She had and cared for chickens at both locations, and the family today still has a number of pictures of the chickens she raised.
As a girl Eva joined the Baptist church and when they moved to Yates Center they became a member of the Methodist church.
Per just one of the obituaries that was written about her (sorry the clipping I have doesn't specify which newspaper it was written in), says "to the end of her days was a devoted Christian and loyal to church and her Christ. Her convictions were deep, sincere and abiding; her council was always for the right and her advice good. She was interested in and always stood for everything which was for the betterment of the community. Her home and her family were deep and earnest concern of her life and she loved and served them with the devotion of a true wife and mother."
